Poole Brewery Gains Approval for New Taproom and Bar Site
What happened
BCP Council approved plans allowing Barking Cat Brewery to convert part of its site in Arthur Bray Yard into a taproom and bar. The approved scheme includes indoor seating and front and side decking. The brewery stated that selling beer onsite is necessary for its survival, as a taproom is vital for the business's viability.
Why it matters
The brewery believes the new taproom will increase the viability of the area and bring in tourism by highlighting Poole’s heritage. The approval follows a previous refusal by BCP Council, which had cited concerns over pedestrian intensification and flood risk assessment.
